Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explores five Yoruba proverbs about restraint, humility, equality, sudden wealth, and personal responsibility. What does it mean for the owner of the land to tread gently? Why should status give way to necessity during difficult moments? How do we tell the difference between surface resemblance and real equality? Through historical context and modern anecdotes, this episode shows how ancient Yoruba wisdom still explains leadership, ambition, money, and the consequences of forgetting tomorrow.
